Making an effort: Selma Blair looked dressed for dinner as she left Fred Segal wearing chic trousers and a tuxedo jacket

She looked lovely but a tad incongruous amongst the flip flop wearing gym bunnies, especially given the fact that she was also wearing towering platform shoes.

The actress was probably on her way to an event, as there was no sign of her son Arthur.

Mother and child are very, very rarely seen apart.

18-month-old Arthur is Selma's only child, and was born during her relationship with fashion designer Jason Bleick.

The pair split last August amid reports of endless rows, and have since been co-parenting their son.But they were pictured arm-in-arm recently, sparking rumours of a possible reconciliation.

The actress had been dating Jason since 2010 but their relationship crumbled amidst the stresses of first-time parenthood.

After the split Selma and Arthur moved into a temporary apartment in Los Angeles' Venice Beach. Selma is currently stars opposite Charlie Sheen on FX’s hit comedy Anger Management, which has just been renewed for a second season.

Business as usual: Selma usually dresses casually and is frequently with her lovely boy, Arthur

The actress has made no secret of the struggles she faced in balancing new motherhood with an acting career.

She told TV Week: 'Somehow I was just hanging on. But then it caught up with me – totally – and, since then, I’ve just fallen apart.

'I need to get myself back together so I can go back to work so I can pay for a house for this baby.'
